E. Jean Carroll Shares Heartbreaking 5 Words After Trump's Win
E. Jean Carroll, the writer whom Donald Trump was found liable of sexually abusing and defaming, shared a short and poignant post on Wednesday after the Republican was elected president again.
"I tried to tell you," she wrote on X , formerly Twitter.
Carroll, a longtime advice columnist, said Trump raped her in a New York department store dressing room in 1996.
In May 2023, a jury awarded her $5 million and found Trump had sexually abused but not raped her. It also found that he had defamed her by claiming she was lying about it. Trump denies he did either.
In January, a jury awarded Carroll $83.3 million for defamation after Trump continued to publicly attack her. The president-elect is appealing both verdicts.
Trump has been accused of sexually assaulting or harassing more than two dozen women .
Earlier this year, he was criminally convicted of falsifying business records to cover up a hush money payment to a porn actor he allegedly had an extramarital affair with. He also faced three additional criminal indictments, but it appears he may get out of those now that he's returning to the White House.
